There have been numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, inadequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings. The district attorney’s office vigorously defends its checkered concession program as a necessary corrective to past mistakes by prior administrations, as reported below.
In an extraordinary ruling from Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, if the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office wants to overturn a conviction in state court, the state Attorney General’s Office must be given the chance to review the case and make sure a proper investigation was done.
The order comes as a King’s Bench petition, which is basically a mechanism for the high court to take over a case and review it. The case at hand involved Lavar Brown, a man convicted of killing two men in the early 2000s and sentenced to death row.
In their opinion, the five Democratic and two Republican justices said District Attorney Larry Krasner has “numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, lack of adequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings” and is “unreliable,” reports Audacy.
They said when a district attorney fails to follow through on their duties, it “does not minister justice, it facilitates injustice.”
The high court said because “the problems are poised to continue,” it’s now requiring the Attorney General to intervene on behalf of the commonwealth.
“It is only in Philadelphia County that there has been a pronounced, documented pattern of highly problematic prosecutorial concessions,” the judges added.
The Story
Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner has a concession program that his office uses to lie to put murderers back on the street, as per the court decision below.
The Philadelphia district attorney’s office argued that Lavar Brown, a convicted murderer, was entitled to a new trial, and the reason the office gave was that there was an untimely claim under the PCRA.
Krasner and his corrupt attorneys wanted to release a murderer, giving him a new trial based on how soon the claim came in. The relief wasn’t even warranted because the story wasn’t true.
Lying to Protect Murderers
Larry Krasner’s office conceded relief, though none was warranted. He violated his duty to the PCA court without material evidence from the court and opposed efforts to gain access to the submitted evidence. The office misstated facts in its pleading,s failed to conduct a reasonable investigation, and opposed the required confidential hearing.
Brown was given a new trial erroneously as a result. Since 2018, the district attorney has secured relief well over 100 times, mostly in murder cases like this one.
There have been numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, inadequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings. The district attorney’s office vigorously defends its checkered concession program as a necessary corrective to past mistakes by prior administrations, as reported below.
There is no excuse for lying to get murderers off when you’re a law enforcement officer. This is Larry Krasner‘s concession program. He’s putting murderers back on the streets.
Krasner openly breaks the law to protect the worst in our society and endanger the innocent.
Wow. This is stunning.
Soros DA in Philly lying to the court & actively working to release murderers…. https://t.co/dDliOlvNwR
